Happy International Women's Day

On this day set aside to honor women, we want to take a
moment to reflect on the many women of Markey’s and the path that they have created
for the future women in the event technology industry.

The Markey’s story begins with Martelle “Marty” Markey, the
mother of four who started our company in 1959. For 30 years, Marty was the owner and CEO of Markey’s. Her commitment to
service provided us with a company foundation focused on meeting and exceeding
customer expectations.

In an industry that is historically male dominated, we at
Markey’s have always looked to hire and promote qualified women within our
organization. We understand that for us
as a company to successfully serve our clients by meeting and exceeding their expectations
(as Marty taught us), women must be an integral part within all of our teams,
including our event technician staff.
